Micitype Pretty Good

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

James Wright First thing's first; if you hate shaky-cam then you won't be able to stand this movie, because there is a lot of it. Otherwise this is a great zombie movie that draws heavily from Starship Troopers to give a satirical look at a zombie apocalypse via reality shows, news reports and commercials.The acting and writing are both decent and make for an enjoyable experience overall, again if it falls down anywhere it is in the action scenes where the attempt to give a realistic feel to being in such a situation leads to a lot of confusing and sickly camera movements. There is certainly something to be said for the film's commitment to its world and dedication to putting its audience into the action.Overall the segments away from the main story make this worth watching, and the main segment itself is pretty compelling if you can look past the occasional camera craziness. A sequel with a bigger budget could do really well for itself and this could easily turn into a fun horror franchise if the standards are kept up.

otakutommychan I was going to give this film a 1/10 but I thought that was a tad too unjustified and unfair to the rest of the people who worked on it. If they hired the same cameraman from say, Battle: LA the film would have been an 8/10. It's a shame one man destroyed what was potentially a good film.The good points of the film is the great action with plenty of gratuitous violence and the general atmosphere of the film set it apart from the normal zombie flicks. Whoever wrote the film is definitely talented and put a unique spin on this genre.I loved the Running Man-esq type cutscenes, something that's not really been done well in movies with maybe the exception of the original Robocop and Starship troopers.The acting was absolutely spot on, they nailed it. There's no Oscar winning performances deserved here, but for the style of film they were going for the acting was brilliant.I could have enjoyed this movie. It could have been the fun, pop-corn munching thrilling ride I was looking for. I could have loved this movie so much as to order the DVD immediately after watching it as I could have felt it was deserving to be in my collection and deserving of my money...If not for the cameraman. He was either a severe epileptic in need of urgent medical assistance and the poor sod was forced to keep filming in the midst of a serious seizure, or he was a complete amateur who's never held a camera before in his life. He completely destroyed the film. Any time you 'almost' got immersed, anytime you 'almost' enjoyed the film, any time you 'almost' started to pay attention off he goes on his savage mission to ruin the film for you. //Shake shake shake zoom zoom rotate rotate shake shake shake// "oh look the sky oh look the ground oh look over there oh look i'm too close oh look i'm too dark oh look anywhere except where i'm supposed to be bloody pointing this thing I have no idea how to use" he says, as a doctor stands beside him administering his anti-seizure meds.I hope he never gets another job again in this line of work, it obviously isn't his forté.I don't like spoilers so haven't given anything away about the story. If you can handle the ridiculously epileptic camera-work the general theme, story, action of the film is great. Fantastic! Excellent job from the writers and actors.If however you like to actually watch a film, and not just catch miniscule glimpses and fill in the blanks by listening, avoid it like the plague. Hopefully they'll remake it in the future without the offensive Parkinson's disease impersonations the cameraman is trolling the audience with.

nathan-mcgee6 I checked this out expecting the same old zombie apocalypse movie and that's exactly what I received. But with a small twist to this flick, it's shot entirely in reality show style. Now that is nothing new or anything because that's been done with zombies, such as the Spanish film REC and the zombie diaries. Now I'll say the reality show style here is not as believable as REC but it was well executed and delivered a nice twist to the movie it even includes commercials such as zombies apocalypse propaganda about re populating the earth, you know the good stuff. The plot is isn't anything to really talk about because it is what is, just a group of people killing zombies, running and hiding from zombies and being by eaten zombies.But the acting is good, it's above average for this kinda movie and the special effects are well executed with a nice mix of practical effects and modern computer effects. Now the story gets a little boring in parts, the camera sometimes shakes a little to much and the propaganda commercials gets a little annoying at times. But overall not a bad movie just don't expect much from it and you might like it.

ericrnolan I want to give "Re-Kill" (2015) more than a 5 out of 10 rating. I do. It's an ambitious post-apocalyptic independent zombie film that earnestly and unpretentiously tries to give fans of the subgenre everything they're asking for: great action, decent makeup effects, gore, good scares and lots of creative world-building, all culminating in a nifty little sci-fi subplot that isn't stupid and isn't too forced.There's a wealth of fun ideas here — the original story was obviously developed by people with a love for zombie tales. We follow a "COPS"-style reality-TV program documenting a"Re-Kill" unit, a squad of specially trained commandos who repel brushfire outbreaks during a global, stalemated war between the living and the dead. They "rekill" the "re-ans," this universe's slang for re- animated dead.We see the entire program, complete with commercials from this fictional world: PSA's to encourage people to have sex (in order to repopulate the world), and drug companies opportunistically pushing drugs for PTSD and depression. My favorite was an ad for a Desert Eagle sidearm marketed to protective mothers, "for the children." We get wicked-cool peeks into a fairly detailed fictional world, including the activities of the police, the military, the media and civilians.This would have made a fine book series, in the manner of Max Brooks' "World War Z." Or it would make a terrific TV series … like a far faster paced and more expansive equivalent of "The Walking Dead."Tragically, though, this movie's execution is too often lacking. The acting is sometimes poor (but not from the always awesome Roger Cross, who you and I know as Curtis Manning from "24.") The script has problems. And worst of all is the absolutely unnecessary shaky- cam directing. This movie could have been a fantastic action-horror flick … if only we were able to see the action a little better. The style of shooting here was a disastrous creative decision.Oh, well. It's still a fun watch for hardcore zombie fans.
